Servants of the Cinder Queen

Jason Lutes is currently kickstarting Servants of the Cinder Queen, an adventure for Dungeon World that attempts to capture the flavour of classic Old School AD&D adventure modules. According to the text it gives the GM all of the building blocks; an oppressed village, a ruined monastery, a mad sorcerer, a lost tome, warring gods, an active volcano and a plane of elemental fire; with the freedom to combine and create connections between all of these according to how things unfold at the table. As one would expect from Mr Lutes, it looks really nicely done. There are some very neat ideas here!

Of particular interest to me, if the campaign reaches $1800, Jason is going to release his 0-level Funnel Rules for Dungeon World, which allow players to take the role of lowly, randomly-generated villagers dropped into a high-fatality crucible of terror, as per Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. It’s worth jumping on board for these alone, so don’t miss it! Back it now!
